By the way, remember the howls of indignation from the rest of the MSM when former CBS correspondent Bernard Goldberg reported on his former employer’s leftwing bias over a decade ago in his first book, titled — not at all coincidentally — Bias? No dogs barked last week, when Attkisson also blamed liberal bias on her departure from Black Rock:

Attkisson, who has been with CBS News for two decades, had grown frustrated with what she saw as the network’s liberal bias, an outsized influence by the network’s corporate partners and a lack of dedication to investigative reporting, several sources said. She increasingly felt like her work was no longer supported and that it was a struggle to get her packages on television.

At the same time, Attkisson’s own reporting on the Obama administration, which some staffers characterized as agenda-driven, had led network executives to doubt the impartiality of her reporting. She iscurrently at work on a book — tentatively titled “Stonewalled: One Reporter’s Fight for Truth in Obama’s Washington” — which addresses the challenges of reporting critically on the Obama administration…

But Attkisson had become a polarizing figure at the network, sources there said. While some championed her relentless dedication to investigations — ranging from defective Firestone Tires to the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal — others saw evidence of a political agenda, particularly against President Obama. (The bulk of Attkisson’s work since 2009 has focused on the failures or perceived failures of the Obama administration, including the administration’s failed green energy investments and the attack in Benghazi, though she has reported on several Republican failures as well.)

As Allahpundit wrote at Hot Air, “Fast & Furious, Benghazi, Solyndra, the ObamaCare rollout — she’s spent the last five years digging into all of them. In a different world, she would have been promoted to ’60 Minutes’; as it is, per Politico, she spent months negotiating an early end to her contract with CBS.”

I had an Elementary School teacher who was a Vietnam vet. He not only told us Cronkite lied, but explained how the media manipulated the footage from the Tet Offensive to make it appear we lost. So I learned early on that the media was full of it.

I woud not be surprised at the high level of cooperation between dem politicians and the press. Now if the press, other than fox, ever cooperated that much with a repub politician, that would surprise me.

I say us conservatives sit around for a few more decades predicting the next legislative or societal development will be the straw that breaks the camel's back of Liberalism. Then I suggest we agree on some subtle signal, perhaps touching the right ear, so we can recognize each other in the Left's gulag.

Liberals are activists, conservatives are bystanders in their own country. They are permanently assured that if we keep doing what we have been doing the results will change. Maybe someone will have a rally in DC and we can listen to some speeches and pick up some litter. By God it's worked so well over and over.

I have great admiration for Sharyl Attkisson for she knew that her investigations into Fast and Furious, Benghazi, etc. were going against the liberal grain at CBS. Who else in the mainstream media did the same. I will eagerly read her book when it is published, but realize it is a small minority who are tuned in to the cover ups perpetrated by the print and broadcast journalists.

"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Norvell (June 11, 1807)

"The fat Russian agent was cornering all the foreign refugees in turn and explaining plausibly that this whole affair was an Anarchist plot. I watched him with some interest, for it was the first time that I had seen a person whose profession was telling lies—unless one counts journalists." -- George Orwell, "Homage to Catalonia" (1938)
